Alpha Protocol – Trailer – Your Weapon Is Choice

Those magnanimous guys over at SEGA sent us a brief note (and we’re talking succinct here; i.e. nine words) this afternoon pointing us towards a new Alpha Protocol trailer.

We’ve embedded the footage after the link but be sure to chime in with some of your own impressions of this new spy franchise in the comments section.

It’s been a while since we’ve enjoyed a good espionage themed romp, and with some definite shades of PS3 Attitude favourites Syphon Filter and Uncharted, our interest has been considerably piqued.

Sure, the graphics are not going to dazzle you as would the likes of Uncharted 2 for example, but remember, this is an RPG from the guys over at Obsidian, creators of such games as Neverwinter Nights 2 and Knight of the Old Republic 2: The Sith Lords. It’s all about the role playing and story for these guys.

Also, if you get to the end of the trailer, you’ll notice the game’s release date: October 2009.
